Thumbprint Sheep Tutorial


Ok, 
how easy is this?

A great project
for kids, 
for adults, 
for a quick gift, 
for 
last minute craft projects. 

Trust me....EASY!

You will need:

Acrylic Paints
(the colors I used are shown below)
Some surface, basecoated.
Round brush
Liner...or Ultra Fine Sharpie if liner brushes cause you stress. 
Your thumb! 




These are the Decoart colors that I used. 


Start with the graphite
or dark gray.

Lay your thumb in it 
and 
pounce it out on your palette until it dries up a little. 


Thumbprints all around. 

With the round brush,
lay in a little grass under the sheep. 


Then do the same with your thumb and the off-white paint
right on top of the graphite ones. 


Add some fun little 
legs 
and 
heads 
and tails.

A few dots with a pen tip to look like flowers....
and 
viola! 
Literally, 
the easiest sheep you will ever "paint"!
